Getting a Community to Show Up on Google Search Results
CaptainZac asked how to get their community to appear at the top of Google search results. omarfilip suggested starting with Google’s official documentation on search (https://developers.google.com/search/docs).
CaptainZac had already applied and was unsure of the next steps. HAWK advised that consistently relevant content is key and that it’s impossible to “game” SEO.
EricGT mentioned that granting trust level 3 to users who post high-quality content, even if it’s their first post, may positively impact the site’s quality rating in Google’s search engine rules. This approach is being tested on EricGT’s site.
You could spend a whole career on SEO, but you can start here:
I’ve already been applied for that, I don’t know what to do after I’ve applied.
You don’t need to do anything… just have consistently relevant content. You can’t game SEO.
A while back there was a post on this site or perhaps a blog or something (can’t find at present) about trust level 3 users getting Have all their links followed (we remove automatic nofollow) but then Google changed the following of links.
On the site I am admin, I grant trust level 3 to users that post high quality content, even if it is their first post because my hope is that it in the Google search engine rules it will somehow bump a quality rating for our site.
I know this post has one foot related to what the OP asked, but one foot in starting a different topic, so feel free to split into a new topic or delete.
